Since the Covid-19 shelter-in-place hit on March 15, 2020, we have been virtually meeting weekly. From our bedrooms, living rooms, kitchens and yards, we dance, create, cry, laugh, and support each other in this strange new and evolving world. We are a group of teens, ages 13-18, middle schoolers to seniors, all whose lives have been interrupted and challenged and all who have stayed committed to working together and creating a new body of work.Your generous donations will go towards the organizations listed above, AND you will get to sit back and watch an evening of live and prerecorded work created collaboratively by Hatchery members and directors, Jen Polins and Molly Fletcher Lynch. These dancers share their stories. In an evolving world, they are our future leaders and peacemakers!
